Explora is your key to success
The Explora experience ensures that students and educators alike can quickly find the information they need to complete homework and research projects, achieve their professional goals and satisfy their intellectual curiosity.

The benefits of browsing
Explora offers a visual topic browsing experience that allows students and faculty to drill down through trusted, curated content, creating a logical and friendlier experience for younger or novice researchers.

In addition to helping students quickly find the information they need to complete research assignments, Explora’s browsing experience also provides educators with built-in topical guides that can help them more easily identify and align database content to school curriculum
